Here's a random fact I dicoveredwhilst looking around on imdb.com : Wes craven apparently named Freddy Krueger after a kid who bullied him when he was at school. The look for Freddy Krueger was based on a hobo who scared him when he was younger.

That sucks, everything is fine now, I hope?

Freddie Krueger is based on a hobo? That makes quite a lot of sense.
